Your personal Schengen 90 day calculator
Who is the calculator for?
UK Residents & non-EU/EEA Nationals.
Post-Brexit, UK Residents, as per non-EU/EEA Nationals, are only allowed to stay in the Schengen area for a maximum 90-days in any 180-day period. With lots of unclear messaging and inconsistent, information on the web relating to the 90-180 day rule, our easy to use calculator will take the hassle out of planning your holidays or visiting loved ones and family within the Schengen area. Whether you are a lover of European travel or a UK/non EU/EEA resident with a holiday home in the Schengen area, you've arrived at the right place!

Currently, spending time in the below EU, non-Schengen countries will not count towards your 90 days, so you can enjoy travelling to these countries without clocking up days on your 90-day allowance. Although to be aware, they do have their own separate 90-day visa limits so in the case of Bulgaria for example, you will get your passport stamped when you enter and exit the country, but the days won't count towards your 90-day allowance.
Albania
Cyprus
Ireland
My top tip for travellers heading to Andorra: whilst your time in Andorra won't count towards your 90 days, you will need to ensure that when you enter and exit the country from France or Spain that you ask the local Andorra border control to stamp your passport. Failure to do this will result in your days in Andorra being counted.
How the 90-180 day rule works
Unknown to most, the 180 days relating to the rule is actually a moveable time frame rather than a fixed 180-day period. For planning, the 180 days is calculated backwards from your planned entry date into the Schengen area. After you have exited, to check how many unused days of your allowance you have remaining, you need to count 180 days backwards from your last exit or planned exit date.
Each time you re-enter the Schengen area, the 180 days will be re-calculated backwards from your new entry date.
What the calculators calculate
Current status calculator
- Allowance days used in the last 180-day period
- Your total remaining allowance
- And if you are currently in the Schengen area, the date you could potentially stay until, maximising your 90-day allowance on your trip
Planning calculator
- For your planned next trip(s) to the Schengen area, what the start date of the 180-day period is on entry
- Allowance days used on entry and exit and your total remaining allowance days (this will be based on your last planned trip if you enter multiple planned trips)
- As well as the date that you could potentially stay in the Schengen area until maximising your 90-day allowance on that trip (this will be based on your last planned trip if you enter multiple planned trips)
- As you enter multiple planned trips, any trip that takes you over your allowance will be flagged!
